Re-enactors Chris Rew & Rebecca Reynolds joined us in character as Noel Buxton MP and Lucy Buxton to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Paycockes House in Coggershall being gifted to the National Trust. Over the weekend they will be joined by twelve other re-enactors playing friends of the Buxtons. They will all be delighted to engage in conversations set in 1924 around their lives to help you be immersed in the world of the Buxtons. Visitors are encouraged to come to the garden party dressed in 1920s style if they wish. There will be afternoon tea, gramophone music, an accordion player, dancing, sing-alongs, croquet, cocktails, speeches and the official handing over of the keys. Entry to the event, gardens, tearoom and shop are free for everyone. Entry to the house is free for NT members, £9.50 per adult, £4.75 per child. family £23, one adult plus two children £14.25
